Nothing To Be Written Here
A Film By Wendy Oberlander
April 24, 2013  at 7pm
Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre 
50 - 950 West 41st Avenue, Vancouver

Mixing personal narrative and historical documentary, Nothing To Be Written Here traces Wendy Oberlander's discovery of her father’s wartime experiences. Exiled from Austria in 1938, interned in Britain and transferred to Canada in 1940, he was one of 2,300 Jewish refugees held behind barbed wire alongside Nazi POWs. Examining the construction of memory and history, Jew and nation, an elegant layering of film and video images reveals an essay that builds on the complex and silent inheritance unraveling in Oberlander’s hands.
Screening followed by Q & A with Wendy Oberlande.
